War rides the winds and sweeps through the north like a storm and nothing seems to be able to prevent this gail. Dark rumors of goblins and orcs preparing for war. Halas is a solemn place indeed these days as trouble times are upon them. Surrounded by enemies on all sides, they await help from their allies in Diren Hold, but none has come. The call goes out to adventures and heros everywhere for help and the promise of tunar and magical items as well as glory for those who answer the call.

...somewhere in the northern tundra a sinister meeting takes place betwee the goblin leaders of the north.
"Ackkkhisss, isss that you Glup?" Hissed Higik, the cureent ruler of the freezebloods.
"Yesssss it is meezz, you called meeezz at a bad time..." Glup, the leader of the snowfists, hissed back.
"SSSSILENCE! You fat shaman, I care not that I interupted your dinner. I trussst you have almossst completed preprationssss assss planned?"
Glup took a step back in defense before answering.
"Yessss all hasss been made ready. But I will not risssk war with the large onesss until Diren's threat hasss been dealt with."
"That hassss been taken care of. Here he comesss now right on time" Higik said as he noticed a dark cloaked figure approach.
Gulp hissed at the approaching figure as he caught the orcs scent and moved behind Higik for protection.
"It issss about time you ssshowed up Kerr. I trust everything hassss been arranged?" Higik questioned the Orc.
"Me tinks all is arranged if me master gets paid as promised." Kerr replied pulling back his hood to reveal is ugly orcan features.
Higik snapped his fingers and a strong looking goblin stepped from behind a tree carrying a chest.
"Placcce the chessst there an open it Guntak" Commanded Higik.
Guntak did as order and placed the chest at their feet and opened it revealing a large sum of Tunar. Higik watch amused as he saw the eyes of the greedy orc fall upon the tunar. He stretched out his leg and kicked the lid of the chest shut to ensure he had Kerr's attention.
"Makess sssure your massster keepsss hisss end of the bargin Kerr, and he ssshall get four more chessst like thessse. Now take the chesssst and leave!" Higik commanded.
Kerr reached down and picked up the chest striaining at it wieght, then departed.
Gulp who waited till Kerr was gone then spoke up.
"You trussting in da orcssss! That issss no wisssse Hi..."
SMACK!!!
Gulp hissed in pain from Higik's blow across the face as he spit black blood on the white snow.
"You do not quesstion me. Remember it isss I who help you to risssse to power over the snowfissttt. The matter hasss been taken care of, and we need not fear Diren coming to Halassss's aid. Return now and make final preprationssss. We launch our attacksss in two dayssss. I will send you my captain with the battle plansssss. Try not to foul anything up or I will makesss ssssure another rissessss to power and take your placcce."
Gulp watched as Higik and Guntak departed. He hissedd as he touched his swollen lip and muttered a curse under his breath as he turn and departed.
"Yesss, in two daysss Halasss sssshall fall and barbariansss be no more. They no more take the bessst meatssss in hunting from ussss. Then Gulp will sssshow Higik dat ssssnoowfisstttss follow no one excccept Gulp."
